Welcome to digitalmaniac.net The aim here is to explore all things done digitally,
from comic book art to 3D to just plain prose.
Long ago in the before time I was a traditional inker of comics trying to break in and
make a name for myself. The competition was stiff and I came up wanting at the big
time. I did find some work for independents but not enough to make a career of it.
Then I discovered the wonders of the Wacom tablet. I was hooked and began my
crossover to the Dark Side. With the tablet and Photoshop or Illustrator it became
possible to draw directly into the computer and eliminate the pencil and paper stage.
Some of the forums dedicated to traditional inking ignored and would not comment
on my work posted there. Who could blame them; they were seeing their livelihood
disappearing in the same way that traditional colorists had watched theirs drift away
to the power of the PC.
While this site is dedicated to all things digital I will be putting up some of my
traditional stuff because it was a part of my life that I worked hard on and enjoyed.
In case you're wondering about the two heroic types at the top of this page they are
the same character that I have named Mindforce. He was created from an accident
with an interstellar object who is amazingly long lived. The one on the left is the
present day original that I created in a novel that was self-published but had little
sales because (as I later concluded) it had the wrong title and needed a serious
rewrite. The prologue to the novel is in the Stories section and will be offered in it's
entirety in some manner yet to be determined either on disk or as a downloadable
PDF.
The dude on the right is Mindforce 7000 years later. I've tagged him as M7k for
short to differentiate him from the original who I've tagged as M2k in my files. One
of his adventures will be ready soon in the comics section. I hope you will be patient
while I get the pages ready and will keep checking back from time to time. If you
belong to Comicspace.com I'll be making announcements there as things progress.
If you're not a member go over and sign up; you won't be left wanting.
Click on the Blog button above and go to where I record what's on my mind that
day. This will be updated daily if possible though I can't promise what I may rant on.
Leave a comment no matter whether you agree or disagree. I don't bite.
After you've toured my website click on the Forum button and be taken to the new
Digital Maniac forum where you can leave your thoughts. You don't have to register
to leave a comment but consider it anyway and help me build up membership. Please
understand that young people may surf to this site and if you are going to leave links
to porno sites you'll force me to delete your entry. I appreciate any feedback just
keep it clean.
